After I married and raised five children, I used this training to work for the Nampa School District in the "Teen Parenting" program. Then in 1978, I married Edward "Ted" Hess. We 'blended' our nine children and moved to Nampa, Idaho. There was "never a dull moment" during this period of our lives. We had five children who married in one year! As we became "empty nesters," we decided that it was time to fulfill one of our lifelong goals ... to fill a mission. We were called to the Samoa-Apia Mission. Doug Sampson's father was president of this mission many years ago. We loved the people and our time spent there. I served as the Mission Secretary and Ted served as President Pe'a's assistant. We are now both currently involved in Family History. Ted is serving as the Area Director and I serve one afternoon a week at the Family History Center, along with serving as the First Counselor in the Stake Relief Society Presidency. We have thirty-one wonderful grandchildren ... and find that life is great and fulfilling. @2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Marilyn Swensen Hess, 1938–2017. Marilyn Swensen Hess passed away surrounded by her loving children on May 21, 2017. She courageously endured a lingering and degenerative physical condition that left her unable to do most of the things she loved during the last few years of her life and yet she was never heard to complain. Marilyn was the oldest of six children and was born on June 1, 1938 to Albert D. Swensen and Jennie Romney Swensen in Provo, Utah. She lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Washington, DC as a young child. Then when she was nine years old the family moved back home and settled in Provo, where she attended junior high and high school. During those years, she was very involved in student government, debate, theater, and various other clubs and committees. Marilyn graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1956. In 1958 Marilyn married G. David McKell, Jr. with whom she had five children: Mark, Scott, Anne, John, and Kristen. They were later divorced. On April 20, 1978 Marilyn married Edward M. Hess with whom she created and shared a very happy life for more than 35 years until his passing in July of 2013. From 1978 until 2014 Marilyn lived in Nampa, Idaho where she was deeply involved in raising her children and supporting them in their various church, school, and extracurricular activities. She served faithfully and diligently in many different leadership positions at church. Marilyn was a wonderful art teacher and she also used her degree in social work to assist young unwed mothers during the early and challenging stages of motherhood. Her greatest joy and passion, by far, was her family. She did all she could to provide a home that was warm and welcoming and to make the lives of her husband and children comfortable and happy. She also loved to travel and took many trips to Europe with Ted where they developed and shared a love for the beauties of that continent. Her life was spent in the service of others. After retirement, Marilyn served a full-time mission with her husband to the island nation of Samoa for 18 months, and there cultivated a great love for the people and their culture. She was preceded in death by her husband, her father and mother, and two of her younger siblings. She is survived by her five children and their spouses (Mark & Lisa, Scott & Tonya, Anne & Todd Bailey, John & Wendy, Kristen & John Strong), four step-children (Mike & Teresa Hess, Greg & Lorena Hess, Johnna & Lars Nelson, Garrison & Christina Hess), 33 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, all of whom love her and will miss her immensely. A viewing/celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, May 24, 2017 from 6-8 pm at the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 E. 800 N. in Orem. She will be laid to rest at the Kohlerlawn Cemetery in Nampa, Idaho. Condolences may be sent to www.WalkerSanderson.com [Provo Daily Herald, May 23, 2017]
